NAME

inquiry.conf - SCSI inquiry strings for Oracle HSM device types

SYNOPSIS

∕etc∕opt∕SUNWsamfs∕inquiry.conf

AVAILABILITY

SUNWsamfs

DESCRIPTION

The inquiry configuration file, inquiry.conf, maps a SCSI device to an Oracle HSM device type. The inquiry.conf file contains the vendor identification and product identification reported by a SCSI device in response to an inquiry command.

Entries in the file are made up of three quoted fields separated by a comma and∕or white space and optionally followed by a comment. These entries have the following format:

"vendor_id", "product_id", "Oracle HSM_name" #comment

The vendor_id and product_id are the vendor identification (8 characters) and product identification (16 characters) as reported in the inquiry data. The Oracle HSM_name is the Oracle HSM device name as described subsequently on this man page.

Trailing spaces do not need to be supplied in the vendor_id or the product_id fields. Any occurrence of a quotation mark ("), a comma (,), or a back slash (\fB\\) in any _id field should be prefaced with the escape character, which is a back slash (\fB\\). Blank lines and lines beginning with a pound character (#) are ignored.

The following device names are supported within the Oracle HSM environment:

NOTES

Whenever a new version of Oracle HSM is installed, the existing inquiry.conf file is copied to inquiry.conf.MMDDYY for reference and back-up purposes.

During device identification, the vendor_id and product_id values are only compared through the length of the string supplied in the inquiry.conf file. To insure an exact match, the entries should be ordered with longer names first.

WARNINGS

This interface is supplied to circumvent problems that occur when hardware vendors change the vendor_id and product_id values returned. For example, some hardware vendors return a different value for a product_id if the hardware is supplied by an OEM.

Oracle does not support mapping untested hardware to an Oracle HSM name.
